Select one computer as update source for other computers (recommended). In this update scenario only one computer should be connected to the Internet to download the anti-virus databases and/or modules from the Kaspersky Lab’s servers. All other controlled computers will update from the local folder of the dedicated update server.

Allow each computer in my network to update its own databases from the Internet. In this update scenario all controlled computers should have access to the Internet so that each computer would download the anti-virus databases and/or modules separately.

If the selected server is unavailable then all other computers will update from the Internet (unless the Internet connection is forbidden by the administrator).

Click the Next button.

Confirm the settings you have selected on the Summary tab by clicking the Finish button.

Once the initial configuration is complete, the following options will be available: Management Console, Scan network computers, Update Center.
